Beamline Design
Bruker ASC is able to supply a wide range of beamline design capabilities. With our well experienced staff we can already be your partner at a very early stage of your beamline project, facilitating your decisional process with the support of our in-house expertise, based on professional direct experience at synchrotron radiation facilities. BASC can manage the design phase of your beamline project and, together with you, identify the most suited design for your experimental requirements.
- FEA of mirror deformation
We have realized Conceptual Design Reports for the following beamlines:
- Protein Crystallography Beamline at the Australian Synchrotron Project (ASP)
- Powder Diffraction Beamline at the Australian Synchrotron Project (ASP)
- XAS Wiggler Beamline at the Australian Synchrotron Project (ASP)
- SUPER-XAS Beamline at the Swiss Light Source (SLS)
BASC can provide assistance, or carry out complete studies, in:
- Thermal and stress analysis, including 3D FEA calculations, to validate white beam components design
- Ray-tracing, including measured optical elements profiles, to evaluate pros/cons of different optical schemes
- Cryo-cooling optimisation, including FEA modelling of the proposed cryo-cooled crystal behaviour
- Calculation of heat loads on any combination of filters, masks and mirrors
- Selection of the mirrors substrate that fits best your requirements (bending range, heat load, surface and figure finish)
- Selection of the best bending and cooling (if necessary) scheme for your mirrors and crystals
- Selection of metallic coatings for mirrors
- Efficient positioning of beam position monitors or intensity monitors
- Optimization of the coupling between the monochromator and other optical elements
- Choice and implementation of the beamline control system
- Implementation of the equipment protection system
- Feasibility of complex or large dimension brazing and special welding
